8.5 Relay Outputs
Relay outputs are designed to switch loads that typically have high voltage or current
requirements or require the isolation that relays provide.
NOTE: The design of the EXL6 OCS does not require external coil power for the relays to function.
The relays will activate anytime the EXL6 OCS is powered. There are several factors that should
be considered when using relays:
Relay Life
–
Relays are mechanical devices that have a long but limited life. Typically, switching more
current limits the life of relays. Please check the data sheets at the end of this manual for expected
relay life.
Current / Temperature De-Rating
–
Products containing relays often have total current limits based
on the ambient temperature of the application. Please see the product data sheet for current /
temperature de-rating information for relays.
Fusing
–
External fusing is generally required to protect the relays, devices and wiring from shorts or
overloads.

WARNING: To protect the module and associated wiring from load faults, use external (5
A)
fuse(s)
as shown. Fuses of lower current or fusing for the entire system need to be in place to
assure the maximum current rating of the unit is not exceeded.
WARNING: Connecting high voltage to any I/O pin can cause high voltage to appear at other I/O
pins.
